A few days ago, Kamala Harris' helpful staff, reacting to complaints that the Veep had said and done next to nothing in her first year in office, set her up for a year-end interview with Comedy Centra personality (certified Black, certifiable leftie) Lenard Larry McKelvey, aka "Charlemagne tha god". It did not go well. Here's a clip.
America's first Black(ish) Indo-Jamaican Vice-President was gobsmacked (as the Brits say) when Mr McKelvey asked her who the nation's "real" president is -- Joe Biden or Joe Manchin. Before she could compose her thoughts sufficiently to respond, her helpful staff tried to end the interview -- "we have to wrap!" -- with the excuse that Ms Harris couldn't hear "tha god".
Not picking up the cue from her staffer, Ms Harris said "I can hear him," and then accused "tha god" of talking like a Republican!
"C'mon, Charlamagne," she said, and repeated "No, no, no, no, it's Joe Biden," as he tried to give his reasons for the question. "And don’t start talking like a Republican, about asking whether or not he’s president." She added defiantly, "It's Joe Biden, it's Joe Biden and I'm vice president and my name is Kamala Harris," omitting only "...and I approve of this message."
Over
on the Fox News channel, "The Five" opined that the whole thing -- the Veep appearing on a comedy show, and Mr McKelvey "feeding her marshmallows" throughout (and taking her part in the conclusion) -- is all part of a DNC plot to get rid of
both President Brandon and his putative successor, in favour of an all-new ticket in 2024.
Warning: After the first five minutes or so of the Fox video, you need to skip over about five minutes of ads to get to the part about who might head the Dumbocratic ticket in 2024. Hint: it could be a Clinton! Wouldn'tcha love it?
